Ordering Clowns

Reef Jedi · Jan 21, 2018

I am looking to purchase 6-8 clown fish all from the same hatch. They need to be the same size and age. Needing advise where to go. Any recommendations are welcome.

I recently ordered some sustainable aquatics longfin clowns online from https://www.coralreeftn.com and was happy with the order. I'm sure you could call and ask about getting them from the same hatch.

Thanks for the heads up! How are they doing in your tank so far? I’ll take a look at their website.

I also got a pair of longfin clowns from coralreeftn.com. I too was happy. Actually think it was my first online fish purchase.

I’ve never ordered live from online so I’m a little timid.

I’ve ordered 4 times already. Never had a problem. They ship them to the LFS. Where are you located?

Never mind Colorado.

We’re in a blizzard so maybe I’ll wait for summer before I order. I just realized it may not be the best time to order.

Have you ever been to Neptunes? It's off county line road and university. They always have a tanks full of similar sized tank raised clowns, not sure if there the same hatch though. They are a quality LFS

I haven’t but I’ll check them out. I didn’t know they were even there. I drive that area for work all the time. Thanks for the recommendation.

There one of my favorite LFS. Been around along time, they quarantine all fish before sale, knowledgeable staff and IMO they really care about what they do. And they have a cool cockatoo that greats you.

I did just that and did it through https://www.coralreeftn.com/shop.php great place and fish are doing great after 2 months still all together. (A dime will just about cover one up, beware they are very small if you buy "Nano")

Bought mine here as well, great place to buy clowns. https://www.coralreeftn.com/shop.php

Good to know nano are small! They look awesome! How were they packaged? Individually or in a group? I checked out the website and that place is awesome! I’ll defiantly be ordering from there. Reasonable price for the frostbite-flurry.

Everything looks great clowns are healthy and happy. They were packed fine I ordered them during winter also. They come in an insulated cooler with heat packs.

I have also ordered off of live aquaria without any problems but if you can find them at and LFS that would probably be the easiest and best way.

They packed them in 2 groups of 3.

I’ve been on the hunt for Frostbite Flurry’s. Maybe the nano size or one step bigger. Would be also looking for around 20 I’ve decided. I’m in Frederick so not tooo far from Loveland. Would you even have an estimate as far as price for a clutch that size? Thanks!
